Worst Audition Ever, according to press notes is "about a group of artists (actors, directors, dancers, etc.) telling their real stores about the all too familiar audition process. The format is simple—a blank stage with one microphone—making the shared stories truly intimate and personal. For anyone who has ever had an embarrassing moment 'putting themselves out there' in the name of art, Worst Audition Ever presents a wry and candid evening of some of the most awkward moments in artistic vulnerability—because pain is best served funny and with cocktails."
